Route

The Grossglockner Alpine Road links the Austrian states of Salzburg
and Carinthia. It ascends 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) while passing by
alpine forests, serene meadows, and rugged snow-capped peaks.

Biker's paradise

Motorcyclists love riding through the picturesque, fresh-aired
mountainscape. Many come.

When to go

The Grossglockner Alpine Road is open to visitors only from early
May through late October. Severe wintry conditions impede crossings
the rest of the year.

Low-lying clouds can hide the mountain peaks and sometimes even
the glaciers. Since the toll fee is about $40 per passenger car,
delay your journey until weather forecasters promise a relatively
clear day.
